CALL THEM BOLTERS
Ci'lZ'ns’ Club Trying to’Bar Chatham’s
Delegation .
FROM THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
w
It I* a Warfre Amons: D-raocrat, and a
K after B.tter Partisan Fight— How
\lt Comdft Up.
A story comes frpm Savannah to the
effect that the Citizens club, claiming to
be the regular democratic organization
of Chatham county will undertake to
have the members elect from Chatham
excluded from the legislative caucus of
the democratic party on the ground that
they are independents or bolters, and
not regular democrats.
Mr. W. W. Osborne, the leader of the
Citizens club, is a candidate for solicitor
general of the Savannah circuit, and
this movement is b shind bis candidacy
■which suffers from the defeat of his
friends who were candidates for the leg
islature in Chatham.
Behind this story is a longer one, lead-!
ing up to this as a climax. • Savannah
is noted for the bitterness of its political
factions, and of late the acrimony has
been intensified by the rivalry of two
powerful political organizations, the
Citizen’s club and the Liberal club,which
are nearly equal in strength and influ
ence. The former has had the advantage
heretfore, but this year, under the lead
ership of "Ex-Senator Peter Meldrim,
the Liberal club ’was victorious. The
contest was especially bitter because of
the charge of unfairness which the Lib
erals had made" against the Citizens,
The Citizens club had control of the
party machinery and called a primary
to nominate county officers, and mem
bers of the legislature. The Liberal club
demanded a division of managers in the
primary, and this was refused by the
citizens who held a death grip on the
democratic machinery.
Liberals In R bellion.
The Liberals then declared that the
nomination was unfair, and they
would not abide by it, and would
nominate candidate of their own. The
Citizens club went on with the pri
mary and declared Messrs. Tiedeman,
Colshorn and W. W. Gordon, Jr., the
nominees of the democratic party for
the legislature. The Liberal club re
pudiated this action, saying it was
not according to democratic usage
and could bind no one. Accordingly
they put in nominotion Peter Mel
drim, ex Mayor J. J. McDonough, and
Dr. Duncan. The contest waxed bit-
Gr as the election approached. The
Savannah papers were filled with
crimination and recrimination, per
sonal encounters occurred, and the
town was wrought up with intense
excitement. Fatal difficulties were
expected, and reading "’fJens went
armed to the polls. The night of the
election gentlemen of state promi
nence were present at a dinner party
with pistols on their persons, with the
result that one of them was accident
ally shot.
The Liberai club won by a majority
amounting to about ten per cent of
the vote. This left the other side de
seated but not conquered. Burning
under the chagrin and mortification
of this result, they have laid plans to
turn the sweetness of the triumph
into the bitterness of defeat for their
opponents. After electing all of their
candidates to the legislature, it would
be gall and wormwood to the Liberals
to have Mr. W. W. Frazier, their can
didate for solicitor general of the Sa
vannah circuit, defeated before the
legislature
Thty Are Called Bolters.
To the politician, nothing is sweeter
than revenge. Not even victory can
excel it in this quality. Then, too, it
would be a powerful influence locally
to have the solicitor genera) of the su
perior court on their side. He would
be a potent factor in the next cam
paign.
Nowadays, when the party" lines
are drawn tightly to check the rising
’spirit of independentism, and when a
county like Bibb has set the prece
dent by declaring that those who
scratched or bolted in the state elec
tion should be excluded from the
democratic primaries of 1898 and 1900,
the opportunity appears to be open
for the effort to unhorse the triumph
ant element of the Liberal club.
“Give a dog a badnime and hang
him,” says the old saw. and no douot,
to call the Liberal bolters would be a
good start toward excluding them
from the caucus.
The Liberals laugh at this. They say
this question was appealed to the people
of Chatham, before whom they appeared
as democrats, and were endorsed as dem
ocrats. 80 the question will go to the
democrats of the legislature.

club supported the state democratic tick
et, with the result that Governor Atkin
son secured a majority of 4,700 in Chat
ham. For at least half, probably more
than half of this he and the state dem
ocracy are indebted to the Liberal club
and its friends. It will be pretty hard to
get the state democracy to take sides in
a local fight, especially against the fac
tion which won the fight.
There is noth'ng that causes women
greater discomfort and misery than con
stantly recurring headache. Men suffer
with headache. “My wife’s health was

■ all headache and gave tone and vigor-to

j Bryan In Boston;
1 The Boston Globe, a very pronounc
ed McKinley organ, in describing the
I monster Bryan meeting in that city
has this to say of the candidate’s
'personality: “Boston audiences are
not as a rule extraordinarily demons
: trative, not nearly so much as those
of the West or the South. But last
night there was no stint of applause.
■ It was an audience thoroughly enrap-
I port with the orator, and like all Bos
' ton affdiencee, quick to seize the good
points and appreciate their full sign
ificance. It it be said about Mr. Bry
an, although perhaps it is unnecessary
to say so at this late day, that he is a
genuine orator, one of those rare
beings who possess the power to
mould the emotions of man as the
skillful worker in clay shapes the
plastic material to assume the tangi
ble foi ms of his brain. This verdict
which has already been endorsed by
thousands and tens of thousands in
lyindreds of cities in the past few
months, met with the approval of a
Boston audience last night. And let
it be said that it was an audience of
high intelligence. No man could say
that it was a gathering of cranks or
anarchists or uneducated persons. It
was an assembly such as few cities
could furnish, but which are not un
common in Boston.”

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and al
terative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the jialarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, consti
pation, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

An Advertiser’s Dream,
A certain merchant believes thor
oughly in advertising, and the result
is he has the biggest business in his town.
Indeed he works so much on week days
that when he goes to church on Sunday,
as he always ioes, he generally goes to
sleep as soon as the preacher gets well
started into his sermon.
Not long ago a visiting clergyman
filled the pulpit, and our friend, being
unaccustomed to him, slept rather un
easily, starting up every now and then as
the minister grew emphatic and almost
shouted the words of truth at the con
gregation. When the preacher called
out:
“Brethren, ivhy stood he here all the
day idk?”
“Because they don’t advertise,” sung
out the half-awakened merchant; and
the way his wife grabbed at him and
shook him into a sense of his situation
and almost broke up the meeting. -Ex

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results were
almost marvelous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor of the Baptist church
at Rives Junction she was brought down
with pneumonia succeeding la grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption, and it
seemed as if she could not survive them.
A friend recommended Dr. King’s New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results.” Trial bot

There is a Mrs. Malaprop living up
town whose queer blunders in her ev
eryday talk would nii a good sized vol
ume, and most of them are funny
enough to deserve publication. She was
telling a neighbor the other day about
a friend of hers who had bought a bicy
cle. “He went and bought the thing,’’
said she, “for sls, and when he went
out to ride it the first thing you know
it fell apart. ‘Why don’t you go, ’ sez 1
to him, ‘and get a good wheel and pay
for it on the European plan? ” Yester
day she went over to a neighbor’s house
for a recipe for mayonnaise dressing.
She said: “How d’ye do, Mrs. Smith?
I want to make chicken salad tonight,
and I thought I’d get you to give me a
recipe’’—pronouncing it in two sylla
bles—“for Moyamensing dressing.’’
Last winter her house caught fire and
was slightly damaged. To her friends
she explained that the trouble was caus
ed by a disinfected flue. On another oc
casion an accident-occurred on the street
opposite her house. She and her cronies
were discussing the affair across the
back fence. “I didn't know there was
an accident at all till I heard the ava
lanche a-comiu down the street a-ringin
the bell. ’’ bhe also told Mrs. Smith one
day that she Lad read in the paper that
milk was u good “anecdote” lor poison.

A PECULIAR REMEDY-
Someth!-g Ab n' th" New Discovery for
l uriiiir Dyspepsia.
The Rev. F. 1. Bell, a highly esteem
ed minister residing in Weedsport,
Cayuga, Co., N. Y., in a recent letter
writes as follows: “There has never
been anything that I have taken that
has relieved the Dyspepsia from which
I have suffered for ten years except
the new remedy called Stuart’sDys-
Cepsia Tablets. Since taking them I
ave had no distress at all after eat
ing and again after long years can
sleep well Rev. F. I. Bell, Weeds
port, N Y., formely Idalia, Colo.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is a re
markable remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of indig
estion. but because it seems to act as
thoroughly in old chronic cases nf
Dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks
bf indigestion or biliousness. A per
son has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is overworked, all it wants it
a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give it the much
needed rest.
This is the secret of this peculiar
remedy. No matter how weak or
how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. New life and
energy is given not only to the stom
ach but to every organ and nerve in
the body. A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the m< st skep
tical that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troub'es can be cured. The tablets
are prepared by the Stuart Chemical
Co., of Marshall, Mich., but so popu
lar has the remedy become that
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can now
be obtained at any drug store at 50
cents per package. Send for book on
